Thoughts on Physiology.
Communicated,

The skeleton or framework of the
house we live in is composed Of about
two hundred bones. The head con-
tains twenty-eight bones. the trunk
tifty-four, and limbs one hundred and
twenty-four bones. The bones have
three principal uses: First, to protect
the delicate organs; second, to serve as
levers for the muscles to act upon to
produce motion, and third, to preserve
the shape of the body. The lungs are
the organs by which we inhale the
pure air which purlties the blood; the
lungs have a double covering. which is
called pleura; the blood is thin,
colorless liquid, and is not red rs some
people suppose, it is filled with little
red discs which make it appear to he
red to the naked eye. The heart is the
pump or engine which propeis the
blood through the system; the heart is
divided into four chambers, the two
upper ones are called auricles and the
two lower ones are called ventricles.
When a person drinks alcohol it irri-
tates the heart. makes it beat much
faster than is necessary, and wears it
out in a short time. 1t is said that the
drinks of moderate drinker will in
crease the heart beats 5000 every
twenty-four hours: the result of long
continued drinking is generally either
delirium tremens or alcoholic phthisis
which is considered fatal. We get our
strength from the food We eat, without
food we lose our strength and soon die.
We need three kinds Of food, nitrogen
GUS food consists of the whites Of eggs,
casein, which is found in cheese and
lean meat, mineral food. which is
found in water. consists Of iron, salt,
sulphur and potash; carbonaceous food
consists OF sugars and fats. One kind
of food is insufficient, for person fed
on one kind of food would soon die or
at least lose strength.

A Warming to Those Concerned:
EDITOR INDEPENDENT seems to
be the special delight of people of GER
tain dispositions to meddle in the
affairs of others, and to assume posi-
tions of society for which nature seems
to have taken particular pains to unfit
them. They are always on hand when
not wanted, and their circumstances
are not generally, at most critical times
sufficient 10 support their arrogant pre-
tentions of dignity. but their assurance
that their abundance of intellectual
gifts is equal to any emergency that
may arise in the future, causes them
to be at once awe inspiring to any dis
eliminating judge of human vanity.
All this has been strikin2ly illustrated
in our quiet settlement, lately, by two
young men who started out, but Quix-
otically like. to right the imaginary
wrongs OF the community.
1t appears that the two young men
had some difficulty over some trifling
affair, and there was storm of indig-
nation and wrath. which forcibly re-
minded your correspondent of n stanza
from Burns. slightly altered:
"such two,-O! do live to sseit
Such acted TIVE. should disagreet,
An names like william" ''hypocrite."

However, they could not settle the
difficulty between themselves quietly
or without attempting to involve the
whole neighborhood, the latter Of
which they proceeded to do in good
shape by starting out TO find someone
that would only give one Of them away
at time regarding some bad reports
about themselves, OF which both are
supposed to be equally guilty of circu-
lating, The two worthless began their
public campaign Monday evening and
labored with each other and their
neiglbors until Thursday noon With
discouraging results, they came TO a
deadlock, and it became evident that
they would have to separate and each
fight for himself as the best means of
getting relieved of his embarrassing
situation. As they had. throughout all
their inquiries, pretended to find some-
one that had or would say something,
and as the sport of seeing them
meander over the mesa had become
monotonous, the wits Of the neighbor-
hood put up job to get a certain fel-
low to say something. This fellow,
although perhaps densely ignorsnt of
the real trouble. willingly undertook
the job, and with copy Of Webster's
dictionary and all old law book before
him, soon had his production of pom
derous words in meaningless order
ready. started out and served the pre-
tentiOus document in person. Whether
the younE men mistook the document
for . death warrant or merely IN ter
rorem. We know not. but they certainly
thought they saw something oppres-
sively suspicious about 1t a. they took

A great saring Of labor and time by
ustng this Dam for I',iaating bitches.
In the past the lateral bitches from
the main waterways have had to be
damned with dirt or a system of gates
at great cost to each party caused by
handling dirt to dam the bitches SO as
to raise the water over tho land, more
or less of the dirt would wash. down
into bitches at the removal of the dam.
to be cleaned out at an additional ex-
pense, etc. etc. Now this dam does
away with all such work and expense
We call the attention Of patrons Of

ing invention. You can save enough
in one year, with this dam, to pay for
the use of said dam lifetime. Dam

rhe Cramming Process In Colleges ana
Brain-Forcing in tsc Public Schools.
One of the greatest mistakes made
in our present system of educating
children is that they are given too many
subjects to study at once. The power
of dissociation-that is, of keeping one
subject entirely clear of another sub
ject-is not great in the minds of chill
dren. They therefore have mass of
confused ideas when they have got
through with their daily tasks, which it
is always difficult, and sometimes i'm
possible, for them to separate one from
the other. 1t is true that some chill
drcn are, from the beginning, able to
concentrate the attention first on one
subject and then on another; but these
are quite exceptional instances, and the
brain is very likely to be strained in
the effort. 1t is as though a person
should spend six hours in looking al
ternately through a telescope and mi
croscope, giving Il few minutes to each.
1t would certainly be found at the end
of that time that the sight had been
injured for the time being, at least,
and if the practice should be continued
there can be no doubt that permanent
impairment of vision would be the re-
suit.
The effort to form and maintain clear
and forcible ideas of several subjects at
once is difficult matter. even for
adults. 1t has been found by experience
that it is advantageous to reduce the
number of branches of medical science
which students are required to study
simultaneously. Several of the better
class of medical colleges in this country
few years ago cut down the list of
from eight or ten to less than half the
number, and extended the period of
study from two sessions Of four months
each to three of from six to eight
months. l speak from personal eXpeI-
fence when | say that | am aware of the
most lamentable results of the "cram-
ming" process in medical students. l
have been teacher in medical schools
for nearly twenty-five years. In the
course of my examinations it has often
happened that have put question in
one branch of medicine to a candidate
for graduation and have received an
answer in an entirely different branch.
How much better it would be for the
future man or woman if the boy or girl,
instead of being required to learn a
dozen different subjects at once, should
have the number reduced to two, or at
most three!-Dr. William A. Hammond,

PRETTY ORNAMENTS.
How Pictures from Illustrated Papers Can
BE Transferred TO Wood.

DC 1EdhsIeTFeu 10 nOOu.
A great many of the panel pictures
which serve as interior decorations for
cars and steamboat saloons, and which
have so frequently been admired for
their artistic beauty, are first trans
ferred to the wood from ordinary illus
trations in the pictorial papers, and
painted by the artist afterward.
The process is simple, and can be
done bymost any boy or girl of ordinary
intelligence. Poplar wood is regarded
as the best for the foundation, as its
surface is even after being planned, and
it is not so porous as pine, and is there
fore less liable to absorb the ink-marks
upon it.
Select any picture that the fancy may
suit from some illustrated paper, say,
for instance, a landscape or marine
scene. Cut it out of the paper, clip off
she superfuous portions around the
edges, and lay it upon the board, leav-
ing about an inch margin all around on
the board. When the picture is trans
ferred this margin may be gilded CT
stained, which gives the picture the APP
pearance of being inclosed in a frame.
The board must be thoroughly dry and
smooth, and free from knots The sur
face should then be gone over with a
hin coating of copal varnish (Which
can be purchased at almost any paint
store), evenly laid on.
The picture to be transferred, first
having care to see that no creases
Dr wrinkles are in it, should be placed
upon the board upside down-that is,
with the face of the picture to the
board. Having accomplished this
much, the board and picture should
then be put away to dry, and
securely covered with some light stuff,
prevent the dust from settling upon
it. The drying should not be forced by
artificial means, such as placing near
the stove, as it is liable to blister and
destroy the effect of the picture. Let it
remain in this condition until it is
thoroughly dry; then, with a fine sponge
slightly dampened with water, go slowly
over the back of the paper. The paper
will come off easily, leaving the picture
upon the surface of the wood. With a
box of paints, a boy or girl may thus
have handsome picture that will last
for wears.
The picture. however, in the original
transfer to the wood, without any addi-
ton of paint to enhance its beauty,
makes very pretty ornament. Shields,
medallions, easels and ovals can be
shaped out of the wood for small pic
lures, which furnish attractive orna-
ments for tables and mantle-pieces.-

PAPER BOX MAKING.
Invention of a Machine Which Enables
Sixteen Girls to Do the Work of Thirty.

Invention of Machine Which Enables
Sixteen Girls to Do the Work of Thirty.
An art that has been slow to undergo
the transition from handicraft to ma
chine processes is that of making paper
boxes. Until quite recently all the
work of making the exhaustless variety
of boxes used in the dry goods, station
cry and other trades has been done by
hand, except the cutting out of the
parts. The labor has been performed
by girls, who by long practice have be-
come able to put together and cover
several hundred boxes day each. The
board of which the box is made is first
cut and creased so that the edges fold
up to form the sides and ends. A strip
of glued paper is then put around, hold
ing the sides and ends firmly together
at the corners. This work is called
setting up. Next the box is covered
with whatever is to form the surface,
as glazed or ornamental paper or printed
labels. If the box is to have cover, the
hinge is made by piece of strong cloth
pasted to box and cover, and the surface
paper is pasted over the cloth. The
most difficult part of the art to learn is
that of clipping" as the work of APP
plying the glue is called. With broad
brush glue is spread on zinc surface,
and the boX-maker, with few dexter
Gus motions, dips the strip or label into
it in such a way that the surface is
evenly covered.
An invention lately perfected and in
successful operation seems to be just
the machine that job shops have waited
for The parts having been cut out by
the same tools that are used in the hand
process, CLUES on one side and delivers
together, on one broad belt, all the
parts for completely covering box
to-wit: the box strips. labels, top papers
and trimmings. A machine can be
made large enough to keep ten girls
busy FASTING the strips and finishing
the boxes. The peculiar feature of this
machine is the feeding arrangement,
which automatically feeds the strips or
labels, one at time, at regular inter-
walls. This invention saves thirty to
fifty per cent in the cost of boxes. Six
teen girls will do the work of thirty,
and make better wages per individual.
1t favors minuter subdivision of work,
which conduces to experiences. Ono
girl, for example, applying herself ex-
clusively to setting up" the strips
being delivered to her hand already
glued, soon becomes able to set up 1900
boxes day.-Pdper World.

Guarding the Jews.

The Sultan of Morocco is said to have
refused to consent to an application
from several wealthy Jews of Tangier,
who desire to live in any part of the
town other than the Jewish quarter.
This refusal, it is believed, is base, dnot
on arbitrary reasons, but on the con-
viction entertained that the Jews, if liv-
ing isolated, would run the risk of ex-
citing Mahommedan fanaticism and
cupidity, whereas by dwelling in dis
tinct locality, the gates of which are
closed at night, they are effectually pro-
tected against attacks from Without
JeWiSh Messenger.
